How to Use AMS ListServers
If you subscribe, here’s how to participate in ListServer discussions, keeping in mind the “dos and don’ts” of online etiquette.
To Send a Message
Once you've subscribed, your e-mail messages to the ListServer will be distributed to everyone on the list.
To Respond
When you subscribe to a ListServer, you will receive all e-mails sent to the list by other participants. If you choose to enter a discussion, you may respond to the entire group or to a single individual.
- To respond to the entire ListServer, simply use the reply function of your e-mail program.
- To respond to an individual, either copy and paste or type the person’s e-mail address into the To: field of a new message.
Use Accurate Subject Lines
If you reply to a ListServer e-mail with a message introducing a new topic, we recommend that you change the subject line. Using a subject line that is relevant and clear helps others decide which e-mails they would like to read.
For Support
If you meet the eligibility requirements but are unable to subscribe to a ListServer, please contact:
Abbie Kelly (if you are a director or instructor in an AMS teacher education program, or an adult learner)
Carla Hofland (all others)
If you're having other technical problems with a ListServer, please contact Andrew Hofland, AMS manager of information technology.
Subscribers are accountable for their submissions to AMS ListServers. All participants must understand and agree to our acceptable use policy.
